Having problems with your Digital Cameras ?

Inserted the disk for my Canon A470 into my computer. Got the message "screen resolution to execute Digital Camera Solution Disk is not sufficient." I realize it's not a camera problem but not much I can do in the way of downloading since not even the disk provided suggests what to do.

Answers :

You have to set the resolution on your computer's monitor to the minimum required to run the software. To do this, go to your desktop (no programs showing) and right click in an empty area on the desktop. Go down to "Properties" on the menu that appears and click on it. Look along the top of the window that opens for a tab named "Settings" and click on it. You should see an option (usually on the left) to change your screen resolution. Change your resolution to the minimum required for the program. Depending on your computer, you may be asked to confirm the new settings, or you may have to restart your computer (the computer will tell you). Once you have the new screen resolution set, things will appear to be smaller on the monitor, but you will be able to see more of whatever you are looking at.

I have a sharp video camera model VL-AH30
This is a hi8 unit. When I play back the tapes there is alot of tracking problems that makes some of the tape nearly unatchable. Is this a problem with the mini VCR heads? Will a cleaning help? I can not find a way to adjust tracking like on a regular VCR.
I am transfering it onto my computer and would like to find a way to eliminate as much of this tracking as possible.
Thanks

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster t ...

Lens problem Hi. I have an Olympus FE-190 digital camera. not sure what happened, but now there is a problem with the lens. when i turn on the camera, the lens extends, retracts, several times (trying to find "home" I think). Image on the display screen is blurry. it WILL take a very blurry picture. there is a faint 'ratcheting" sound when the lens is fully extended. is there a way to 're-set" or calibrate the lens extension setting or focus? thanks very much for your assistance.

My camera has a delayed response when I push the shutter button down to snap a picture-it takes 3-4 seconds and then the moment is gone! Another problem I have is the pictures moniter are blurry. Also, the battery life in the camera is extremely short. I charge them on a regular basis. (My daughter threw the camera on the floor in a rage)is there any way the camera can be fixed or will it cost just as much to buy a new, better one?

Well if it stills under warranty u can send to tre repair centre and they will fix for free, but remember it\302\264s pretty normal for that cameras to just eat batteries, the best u can do on that is buy the most powerful recharchable batteries. ...

CCD Problem My HP Photosmart 945 camera's CCD broke down, and I'm told that there's no way to repair it, because HP does not sell the part. What could I do?. Is it possible to install another make's CCD or any solution that might help. Please, do not refer me to HP customer support service, because it sucks! They only offer a "refurbished camera" and only God knows what that could be!. Thanks in advance. P.S.: I know the camera is old (even though to me three years is not that much), but it work

thanx

Cleaned is not the problem. Most of the time it is poor battery. Just becuase the battery says it is charged means nothing. These cameras take a great deal of power compared to other AA devices. ...

I have had my camera for not even a year and it recently started having this problem. Whenever I take a picture, the object will look fine in the display, but when I take the picture it gets horizontal lines across the picture. It is much worse if there is any natural light coming into the picture. I have tried adjusting the flash, the white balance, but the pictures are still coming out this way. Also, if there is a good amount of natural light, you can't see the object you at all, it looks

If I understand you correctly, you're saying that the LCD display shows a normal picture when you are composing your shot, but that when you actually snap the shutter to record the shot, the resulting image has nasty lines across it?That ...

Highly recommend that you consider using a card reader to download your pictures. You insert the camera's memory card into the reader, and then insert the reader into a USB port on your computer. The card then shows up as a hard drive so that you can ...

Pretty much constant but sometimes intermittant problem of the camera fe-210 screen goes black. all functions appear to be normal but it does not see through the lens. So everything is black on the pictures taken. It's like the opening is shut. Sometimes it will work when first turned on for one or maybe two exposures. then it goes black and may stay that way even if turned on and off or changing any of the settings.

Camera stalling The problems started after using my camera on a windy day at the beach 3weeks ago. After a few days, the lens started getting stuck, and wouldn't come out, or if it did, didn't focus properly. This problem was intermittent. Then, in the past several days, the camera systems stall when I switch it on. The lens comes out and zooms fully. but It will not respond to any of the control buttons. Which part of the camera is the problem? is it fixable? How much is the estimated cost of r

This problem is related to your lens , because even if the lens extend fully and for the past things that happened on the camera there's a big chance that some dirt get in to the camera that causes the problem. What you can try first is to take the b ...

Battery Problem I bought a Nikon Coolpix L12 Digital Camera this past summer and have had no problem until last night. My camera turned off and said "battery exhausted." After changing the batteries twice with new batteries, the lens would open for a second then close and the camera turned off once again saying "battery exhausted." I don't know what happened.

Hello I have a canon IXUS 960 IS. Yesterday when I was using the camera it only closed half way when powering the camera off. Now the camera doesn't open fully and when pusing the "play" button the power goes on and off straight away. At first I thought this was a problem with the battery so I have fully charged the battery and the problem is still the same. What do I need to do to correct the problem? Thanks

My fujifilm E550 digital camera has a problem where the cilyndrical piece in front that usually moves in/out is stuck half way (won't go back inside) and the camera will not take pictures. The camera is giving me a "zoom error" message. This problem started when the batteries where running out of charge. The problem is not resolving even when I put in fully charged batteries.

You may need to use some light "force" to manipulate the lens barrel into its proper orientation. Try a combination of turning it on and helping the barrel to rotate one way or the other. Also try a little manipulation when the camera is shut off, to ...

Format problem I have had my camera for about a year now and the other day I had put my memory card into my laptop (lost usb cord so I just take the memory card out of my camera and plug it into my laptop). Upon doing that it told me I needed to format my disk and I said no, so then I take out the memory card and I put it back into my camera and my camera tells me I have to format my disk, so reluctantly I did. Well now it will let me take about three pictures then it will freeze and wont do any

Camera jam Ricoh Caplio R5 - tried to switch it on to take a picture, and lens came out part way but the camera then switched off. Flat battery perhaps, so charged battery overnight and tried again with similar results. Lens still part way out, maybe some whirring noises, screen flashes but then camera switches off.
Any ideas? Dead battery / broken charger? - or problem with camera? And how to check (I only have the one battery)

All the R series Ricohs have a pretty complicated lens system employing 2 swing-out lenses which can get stuck pretty easily, or worse, broken. If you are very good at taking things to bits you might have a go at fixing it (I've done several that wer ...
